Only legal for adults, or children if it is medically necessary. Otherwise it is outlawed as genital mutilation.

The Muslims in Yunistara province practice circumcision. Most non Muslim Maichins are repulsed at the idea.

While it's left up to parents, the general consensus is:

Since Socialist Shamsiya has a Muslim majority, circumcision is practiced quite often, though, less frequently than in other Muslim nations.

Mutilation of minors is illegal in Theurgia.

Adults may do whatever they like to their bodies.

Immigrants and refugees who have been circumcised abroad are welcome, but they may not mutilate a minor within Theurgia's borders.

It is legal for the time being; however, public opinion is starting to shift towards viewing circumcision as unethical.

It's a non-issue politically. The decision is left entirely up to the parents, and the government takes no position on the issue.

It is legal as long as the parents mean good will on the procedure, it is done safely and correctly by a trained medical professional and is not being forced.

Circumcision being performed on someone under the age of majority (20) is illegal under Gandoorese law, unless it is deemed medically necessary.. There are no laws prohibiting someone from over the age of majority from opting to get circumcised, although most males in Gandoor are uncircumcised.

A medically sound practice and longtime tradition for Darussian Muslims and Jews. For male circumcision, at least. Female genital mutilation is officially condemned by an Imperial Firman in November 1981, although it persists among several hinterland tribes until today.

Based on TGB (Taiyochi Guggabeobryul, or Taiyochi National Law)

TGB, Article 34, Paragraph 1A
"Circumcision is allowed only for medical and religious purposes, it's up to the people whether they'll do it or not, and none has ability to force circumcision unless their religion's holy book/rule told them to do so"

and it's related to Article 21, Paragraph 2
"People of Taiyochi must follow the rule of their religion, and the nation's law, except for certain conditions"

Imperials actually teach their children to wash properly, instead of mutilating them. It is not however, an illegal medical practice, carried out by a properly skilled healer or doctor (the terms are distinct) and in a clean, professional, medical setting. Priests would be jailed ruthlessly.

In Davinhia, uncircumcised peens are considered unattractive, HOWEVER, it is only optional. About 90% of all Davinhia-born citizens are circumcised. The practice of not circumcising is becoming more and more common place, but many national leaders, INCLUDING new president, Ruslan Lindsay, are not happy

Circumcision is frequently practiced around the country, though circumcision under forced action is illegal due to the Code of Anatomical Modification 1987 s. 2 p. III which states that:

All males are given the responsibility, option, and right to choose whether it is favored or not, therefore shall hereby protect them at all illegal religious, medical, or tradition enforcement.


Circumcising infants are prohibited by the government, which subjects to rights abuse.
By tradition, uncircumcised men are usually unattractive for women, but has drastically changed in 12 years because of the evolving global fashion and trends.

Eriaroons do not have external sexual organs. As such, they cannot even approximate the procedure. Their opinion of it is essentially seeing it as "willing mutilation without medical justification" in most cases.

It's uncommon and almost never done. Only done among religious minorities such as Muslims and Jews. There have been talks of banning the procedure on infants and children and the majority of the populace supports such a ban. Most Arkiasians consider the practice to be unethical.

The act of circumcising a minor for reasons other than medical is illegal. Those deemed of age can have a circumcision if they want, however, considered an elective cosmetic procedure, it is not covered by health insurance. As the age of majority varies per individual (but generally between 12 and 18), the Muslims that live in Yannia have adapted, but most Jews have left, after vehemently protesting the law, and the expulsion of repeat offenders.

Religious circumcision is illegal. Circumcision may only be allowed if the boy wants it and if the reason is medical.

If there is excess foreskin that makes intercourse physically uncomfortable for the male, either due to the foreskin pulling back uncomfortably upon penetration or semen getting trapped between the glans and the foreskin, circumcision may be allowed.

Adults (individuals aged 18 and older) are free to get circumcised as they please.

Female "circumcision" has been banned outright since it has been scientifically proven to be medically useless and emotionally damaging for the girl. Performing female "circumcision" can be treated as child abuse, which may result in a forty-year prison sentence, life in prison, or even death if convicted.
